Skills demand snapshot: Victoria's rail manufacturing sector

This document provides a snapshot of skills demand for the rail manufacturing sector in Victoria. For the purposes of this snapshot, the rail manufacturing sector is defined as businesses mainly engaged in manufacture or maintenance of rolling stock, such as trains and trams. This profile provides a genuine understanding of the current and future (1-3 year horizon) skills and training requirements of the sector.

The Victorian vocational education and training (VET) system aims to deliver 'real training for real jobs' by providing up to date training for new challenges in the sector. This report is part of a series of sector profiles which will be developed by the Office of the Victorian Skills Commissioner (OVSC). The set of skills demand snapshots will complement the regional skills demand profiles [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 133.933, TD/TNC 137.227 and TD/TNC 145.288] to provide a richer picture of the skills needs of Victorian employers.
